The development of Visit Coastal Alabama was a truly historic task, as it is the first time Coastal Alabama has put our assets together as one. The site provides you with a one-stop-shop of information on tourism opportunities available in our region, and it shows the world our uniqueness and the diversity of our area as a whole.

About The Regional Tourism Council:

The RTC was formed in 2013 in an effort to work together to promote tourism regionally. The council is comprised of eight destination marketing organizations in Mobile and Baldwin counties that are funded by lodging tax and is coordinated by Coastal Alabama Partnership. The founding entities of the RTC are Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism, Visit Mobile, Coastal Alabama Business Chamber, South Baldwin County Chamber of Commerce, South Mobile County Tourism Authority, City of Foley, North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce, and the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce.

The Regional Tourism Council

Since its creation, the council has identified objectives to better tourism opportunities and promotion for our region. These include:

Promote the entire region as a travel destination;

Create a regional brand that identifies diverse attractions along the Gulf Coast;

Advocate for improved infrastructure to link the communities and attractions for easier travel;

Identify voids in events and activities and ways to extend the tourism season beyond the typical Memorial-to-Labor Day period.

The council is excited to continue working with Visit Coastal Alabama to promote events and activities along our beautiful coast.
